Bosh meets with Knicks, Bulls
CHICAGO — Chris Bosh met for more than two hours each Friday with the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls, the latest suitors for the busy free agent forward.
Bosh showed up at the same hotel where Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade met with the Knicks earlier Friday. In a tweet, Bosh called the Knicks’ presentation during a meeting that lasted 2 hours and 40 minutes “another impressive one.”
He told reporters he felt “like a kid at Christmas.”
“You’ve got to enjoy this,” he said. Asked if there were any offers, he said “No, not yet. Everything is still pending.”
Knicks officials were not available.
Late Friday, Bosh spent more than two hours meeting with Bulls executives at the United Center. Chicago also met with Wade — twice — and was scheduled to meet with LeBron James on Saturday.
Henry Thomas, the agent for both Bosh and Wade, said no deals had been reached but that he was encouraged by presentations to his clients.
After seven seasons in Toronto, Bosh has been one of the busiest players in the free agency bonanza. He met with Rockets in his hometown of Dallas early Thursday, then flew to Chicago for sessions with the Heat and New Jersey Nets.
